Doug Bruce lost re-election and the GOP needs someone who’s gone totally off the deep end to play to their base in the legislature.
After all, the important thing for the GOP is not to be in the majority, it’s to be ideologically pure.
He didn’t demand public speaking time, or find another photographer that he could kick in the nuts…
So he’ll probably be around for longer than Bruce was, giving Democrats more ammunition.
Just a caution-such exaggerations play into the Bruce type’s preception of media misinformation….
the “liberal media,” including the alleged victim of the kick, didn’t provide an image of evidence that a kick had been actually been delivered. [No gaping wound, identiable footprint, scuffmark, etc.] However, Mr. Bruce did not deny the kick. Instead, he excused it if I recall correctly. The fact of the kick was never in question.
The funniest part of the whole story (before a worried Republican leadership responded with meetings, etc.) was the timing of Mr. Bruce’s assault. The offending kick was delivered during the morning invocation / prayer.
Bruce denies kicking anyone. He says that he merely and gently placed his foot on the reporter’s leg and politely asked the reporter to stop.
According to my sources, who were right there, it was a kick and hard enough to knock the guy over. One person told me he thought Bruce intended to inflict physical injury.
A) He was kicked in the leg (near the knee to be specific)
B) it was enough force to knock the photog over. He has been in a “hunched down” position taking pictures from the a low angle up at people.
I was there at the time and actually saw the photog fall over, but could not see Bruce because I was directly above him in the gallery. I didn’t know about the kicking incident until afterwards.
Doug didn’t politely ask anything. That’s clearly in the footage.
Because we live in reality.
Bruce on the other hand…
